Our practice

Dentistry that feels like being looked after by neighbors.

Shallowford Family Dental Group is a long-established practice in Chattanooga's Shallowford Road community. Four dentists — among them Dr. Tom Gardenhire, Dr. J. David Lewis, and Dr. Dan Edwards — bring together more than 75 years of combined experience, supported by a team of hygienists and assistants who patients get to know by name.

From a child's very first cleaning to cosmetic and restorative care for the whole family, the focus stays the same: thorough, honest, unhurried dentistry in a comfortable setting. It's the kind of place families come back to for years.

75+

years of combined dental experience across our four dentists — and a team Chattanooga families have trusted for generations.

Trusted by Chattanooga families.

Been coming here for over a decade — the best dental care I've ever had, from a group that's genuinely professional and friendly.

The hygienists are thorough and gentle — careful cleanings and honest checks of my teeth and gums every time.

I get nervous at the dentist, and the doctor and team went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and well cared for.
